ovenkitty Maybe. Doesn't matter, you need the code for it to work, and that will be sent in batches during some hours for all the backers.

Runes on Miriam means "Koji Igarashi" or just "Koji" or "IGA", its a play on symbols.
Zangetsu seems like a mishmash of different holy symbols. Its to become imbued with magic to either seal, make something alive, or something destroyed / dead / vanish.

roguedragon05 Well the shards itself on Miriam is just rose-shaped and are spreading across her skin, the signatures around every core (rose fragment which has start to spread) have runes from Johannes to stop it from spreading. These runes are based out of alchemy, but aren't as strong as the curse, if Miriam keeps collecting those souls/shards from her enemies. The rune itself means something about Koji Igarashi if I am not mistaken. Translation. Zangetsu have these anti-demonic cards which he throws, it act not only as a shield from attacking demons, it also hurt them, similar to "thorn damage" in RPG games. He can also throw the cards, which can be seen in Curse of the Moon, but also on Mana Ikeda's painting and in the main game:

roguedragon05 Kill some candles and find out.. Sub-weapons needs to be found, and they are spread out probably. You can only get a spawn of any of them, if you have that character in your group. Perhaps is the spawn random, with low rates, or set if you have that character in your group. These are just theories. You will find out soon enough. And thinking about it, for the achievement-hunters there should be a good range of them now, right?

Wrote a bunch of questions twice on Discord with tag. I hope for answers. This ofc before I left the server so I guess I won't get the answers. It's been a few days ago though and one of the questions were:
Are assets of the mini used in the main game for its retro environment?
I think I also asked if the retro music will be on same soundtrack as the main game, or it will be either dlc or on an additional disc.
Will there only be potions to regain ether, or will there be wall-meat and wall-mac?
I can't remember the other questions.

Will Backers get their code early? No. Everyone gets it and/or can buy it the same launch-day.

1) Gremory seems to be a very important enemy in the game, if not the final boss. It shows up in the trailer and at the moon. There has been several speculations of Gremory being the villain's sidekick on the main game, maybe the equivalent of Castlevania's Death. Considering it seems to be the main enemy on Curse of the Moon, do you think that possibility is even higher?
Anything is possible, but I think she serves who ever that can defeat her, being not only a demon, but also a support-role if you are worthy.
2) The 8-bit mini-game was promised to be a prequel, whose plot would be 10 years before the main game (when Miriam was sleeping and Zangetsu was probably already battling the first wave of demons). IGA made an executive decision and changed "prequel" to "spin-off". That means that Curse of the Moon doesn't have any connection to the main canon of Ritual of the Night. Did you liked or disliked such decision?
It makes my brain hurt. Canon or not, it is not to me and just a "fun project" so sure, it works. And I guess I "like it".
3) The playable characters are Zangetsu, Miriam, Alfred and Gebel. Would you had prefered other characters as playable? Who would you substitute / choose?
Change Miriam to anything else, would make so it could fit the lore of the main game, since Miriam is asleep when Zangetsu is out and about, it doesn't make sense she is both here and there. Unless the one you have in the retro mini-game are "the doppelganger". Many liked Johannes to be the whip-guy, and if this were the case, I would change Alfred to Dominique.
4) It has been stated that the game has no special upgrades or things like that and it is mostly focused on hard stages that must be beaten and you can find shortcuts by using specific characters. What are your thoughts over this? It surely makes the game more "classic" but it may be a downside for today's gaming standards.
Todays gaming have to be co-op and other nonsense. It is good as is. Focus is to survive, and finish the game. Heck, not even achievements are needed here!
5) Would you change anything on how each character was presented? Considering their skills and abilities revealed for the game?
If I could choose anything, a 16bit style of the game would be pretty cool. But 8-bit is fine, it has a charm to it. 16 would give us havier game mechanics, that is almost a fact.
I like Gebel being a bat, its another statement...
6) Although it was revealed that Curse of the Moon is a spin-off, do you still expect it to have SOME connection to the main game's plot? Such as multiple universes / realities or something?
Maybe. Hard to see the connection due to what I wrote above. Even if it were an alternative reality, it would make less sense to even visit that reality, and have 2 of everyone.. Hmm. I don't know. I do not think they have any connection than its like Inti Creates vision based on IGA's concept. And Art Play, along with IGA is his own vision on the game. If you guys have seen / heard Reanimation by Linkin Park, it was similar deal, where they gave away their voices and samples to others and made an album, which every song was from a guest-artist, remixing their original. It is like the same here, a remix. Not canon.
Yeah, I will call this Bloodstained CotM, the remix.
Thanks for the Qs Pure!

Enkeria Gin I doubt that they will fix it, it looks like it was just a misunderstanding is all, I've no doubt that we will all get our codes in time I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything even if we got codes early and were able to download the game I would have expected them to put a timer on the game to keep us from playing it till launch day so it's still waiting till the 24th regardless Yeah I understand. Good thing you came here to ask. But I know the feel, if you really want something, you do not mind to check twice or trice to see if its true or not. Been there before hehe. I am waiting on the main game, but first some answers, after that, I believe I will gain my hype back.

roguedragon05Article on that site should be fixed. If they put out lies like that, its them to blaim. As promised, through all dialogue of Artplay and Bloodstained, the codes will come, when you can play the game. So you have to wait, like everyone else.

purifyweirdshard It has generated a few new backers for sure. I've seen a few on FB and YouTube getting their hands on it since day before yesterday due to this.

Question: is this being released for backers early or is it still slated for 24th of May for everyone? I wanna get my hands on this! Its for everyone.
I just read that we will be getting different endings in Curse of the Moon. "The choices you make when encountering the other adventureres for the first time are key". Makes me believe there are 4 different endings.
The bigger group, the worse ending.
If Zangetsu, solo goes all the way without the aid of these people - it will be the true ending, which would go well with the official lore we have so far. It would make sense, but only if Zangetsu goes on his journey by himself. It would mean that Miriam, technically could have been in coma, and wake up to enbark on her journey outside of this. She haven't met Zangetsu that I know of before she got her curse, and even so, she do have the curse when she meets Zangetsu in the spin off. Its a detail I can't really add up. It is almost that the spin off would be Zangetsus version how it played out, and Miriam will be her version. But that would make less sense if Zangetsu is playable in the main game.
My brain goes into melt-mode soon. Spin off or not, I am having a real hard time seeing this game as canon.
Discussion followed on Discord:Steve - Today at 9:43 AMYeah, this is a "spin-off" game, which basically means "This game does not follow the same canon or continuity as BS:ROTN will" Enkeria 銀 - Today at 9:43 AMSo its a different time-line, or just a fun loveletter? Foffy-kins - Today at 9:44 AM Probably love letter with winks. Enkeria 銀 - Today at 9:44 AMBut theeeen, we have THIS: (will come back with a quote from IGA) Steve - Today at 9:44 AMI mean, I'm just guessing here, but I'd say it's sort of like Fullmetal Alchemist vs Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Enkeria 銀 - Today at 9:44 AM"I'd also like to update you on the retro mini-game. There have been some changes from the time we started the Kickstarter campaign; originally, the mini-game was supposed to be a story that took place 10 years prior to the main game, but we've decided to have it take place in a different part of the lore. " source [ kickstarter] Steve - Today at 9:44 AMSame characters, same settings, different stuff happens Enkeria 銀 - Today at 9:44 AM"take place in a different part of THE lore". So I am a bit confused. details details details. I believe stuff like this could happen, if their route of a "2nd castle" if there is one, could be in an alternate realm/ dimension. Or mirror world. I have no freak'n idea. Steve - Today at 9:46 AMBe careful not to infer too much from that quote, it's being translated into English Enkeria 銀 - Today at 9:46 AMOr if that lore, was an error to be said. Yeah, if that is an error, my brain would feel better actually. Foffy-kins - Today at 9:47 AM Japanese developers are also looser about ideas like "canon" if you consider that some of the Castlevania games were referred to as "gaiden" titles but technically don't exist in the main mythology. Steve - Today at 9:47 AM(his comments were translated, not localized) Enkeria 銀 - Today at 9:48 AMWell I wouldn't bring this up, if it weren't for an old quote by IGA that he never liked having locked into the timeframe of Castlevania, like, every x year Dracula resurrected, making it impossible to have him appear year after year, and harder to make games. So I just felt like I would bring this up, minor detail, but could have a snowball effect, and backfire if it were to be some kind of adventure by the side or not. Like I said, things are possible, if time / dimensions / realities are into play of Bloodstained. But is yet to be announced, if there is any. Glad I brought it to your guys attention. Thanks.
